Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

A group of Chinese researchers has claimed to be able to break a widely used encryption scheme with a quantum computer that already exists, creating a possible boon for surveillance and a crisis for ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

We all thought banking and military security was impenetrable? That was, until Chinese researchers used a D-Wave quantum computer to execute what they claim as the first successful quantum attack on ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has debuted three encryption algorithms that it claims will help safeguard critical data from cyber attacks originating from quantum ...

Firms should already be aware that quantum computing threatens to break the encryption that underpins all current digital interactions. That was already a significant challenge requiring focused ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

Quantum computers are expected to be built at a size that is commercially useful in a mere few years, from maybe just 2028 to the mid-2030s, depending on the estimate and the exact capacity ...

Once quantum computers become functional, experts warn, they could perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers—potentially enabling them to destroy the encryption that currently ...

NIST selects four encryption algorithms to thwart future quantum computer attacks Your email has been sent The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and then vet encryption methods to ...
